Just how serious were the Clippers' contingency plans if the diagnosis on Baron Davis' sprained left ring finger came back negatively? Apparently, serious enough to have free agent guard Lindsey Hunter in for a workout this week.

``We worked him out and he looked great,'' Clippers coach and general manager Mike Dunleavy said. ``He's in great shape, and a good veteran guy.''

Now that the Clippers have official word that Davis should only be out another week and doesn't need surgery, it's unlikely they'd sign Hunter, who won NBA championships with the Lakers in 2001-02 and Detroit in 2003-04.

You get the impression that Dunleavy is determined to have no fewer than 3+ options at PG this season, and would happily work out Mo Cheeks if he weren't already coaching the Philadelphia 76ers.

Looks like Jalen Rose and Sheridan are our boosters. Let's hope they're better at predictions than Ford and Hollinger, who are so obviously anti-Clips. Did anyone else see Ford picking Maggette as a possible All-Star now that he's a Warrior? Incredible.

What I noticed last night:
Camby looked like he didn't want anything to do with the team. Liked Mike Taylor, DeAndre Jordon looks like he could be good in a few years. Clippers won't win a game without Barron Davis

Clipper Darryl was there Tuesday night. as load as ever. but he couldn't get them out of there 4th qtr. funk. looks like it carried over to last nights game. I didn't get that impression from Camby. I think once the real season starts. everyone will be ready to go.

Couldn't guess what the Clippers have planned for Camby. He didn't seem to get involved with the team on the sideline like Barron Davis who was also injured. But then again Barron Davis is more of a leader. Really hard to tell much from a pre-season game.

if it was a must play game, he'd be in. he probably seems disinterested because he isnt playing. when you show up to the arena and you know your'e not playing, your energy levels are probably way down.

Lol Jim... easy on Camby. We got him for cheap, and his contract (along with Cat and TT) expires on the 2010 FA period, which gives up a boatload of money to lure.. dare I say it... Lebron??... Camby isn't trash, he provides solid defense. Smith is a young budding star.. but his true position is the same as Al's. Going after JSmith will only create a logjam at SF, with a big hole to fill at PF. And why trade Cat and TT for VC? So we can burden the team with an aging scorer who plays no defense?... We already got Ricky D is not for defense Davis for that.. and we signed him cheap!!!!
